I know its a night early, but once you get to cooking tomorrow throw up a picture and how you prepared it. I am going to do a trash can turkey again.

Will do.....We wrap it with cheese cloth and bacon....

I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.-Henry David Thoreau

I boil the turkey legs and thighs downfor about 6 hours to make a stock, then I pull all the meat off the bones. the legs of wild turkeys have numerous little bones in them so be careful de boning that you get them all. I coarse chop the meat and freeze in about 1# packages with 1 cup of stock. When I make the dressing, I add some thyme, sage, corriander, red pepper flakes, and some salt to the turkey meat before folding it into the dressing.
